All I Need Is You
By Marty Sampson

Left my fear my the side of the road
Hear You speak, won't let go
Fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray
Got every reason to be here again
Father's love that draws me in
And all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You

All I need is You

All I need is You Lord
Is You Lord
All I need is You

One more day and it's not the same
Your spirit calls my heart to sing
Drawn to the voice of my Saviour once again
Where would my soul be without Your Son
Gave His life to save the earth
Rest in the thougt that you're wathing over me

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe
You hold, You hold

All I need is You
All I need is You

What I like about worship is that we can come, broken as we are. By ourselves, we are incapable of true change. We are seemingly trapped within the patterns and cycles of our humanity. But as we begin to take our eyes off ourselves and place them on Jesus and enter into worship, giving Jesus all out attention, a miraculous change takes place in our lives.

Psalms 40 describes it

"I waited patiently fot the Lord.
He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit.
Out of the mud and mire.
He set my feet on a rock
And gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth
A hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
And put their trust in him

God transforms us when we worship Him, because He has complete access to our lives. He comes in with His hands of love and fills this desolate place. He puts a new song- His song - deep into you hearts. I just want to sing that song, because it is a song of freedom, a song of redemption, and a song of love.

or call out

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. And that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Jesus died for you, aren't you gonna do anything about it?
